Outfit of the week 10/12/07

The office party outfit. There are just so many ways to get it wrong. I personally try to stay away from anything too intricate and shiny (which is really hard because I really like intricate and shiny!). On the other had, you don't want to be boring. It may be the office party but it's still a party and you might as well make some effort.

With it's off the shoulder cowl neck and just below the knee length, this soft grey knit dress from Coast seems to have just the right amount of office decorum and party sophistication. The temptation with grey is to try and brighten it up with bright colours like pink or yellow. I think it looks perfect with subtle purple accessories and tights.

A whopping 88% of you voted this a do. 11% wanted shimmer and shine but, like the man said: "you can't always get whatchu wa-ant..."
